Fish Feeder consists of

  • ESP8266/NodeMCU Microcontroller
  • 28BYJ-48 Stepper Motor with ULN2003 Driver
  • Custom built wood stand with height adjustment
  • Powered via USB

The first version of this project was an automatic fish feeder that would feed once per day with a capacity for 16 days of feeding. It uses NTP synchronization to assure the time is accurate. Also contains a VERY simple built in webpage with a log which can be accessed via VPN when away from home.
